  • Abstract
    Experimental results on a synchronously pumped, all single-mode fiber Raman laser with a low threshold of 740 mW are reported. Suppression of gain fluctuations due to pump phase noise has been achieved by implementing a fiber coupler of high multiplexing effect. Multistokes generation of low-noise optical pulse trains at \\lambda = 1.12 \\mu m and \\lambda = 1.18 \\mu m has also been obtained with a subwatt pump threshold.
